Sprouts Farmers Market reported second-quarter 2026 results on July 29, 2026, for the 13-week period ended June 28, 2026, posting net sales of $2.3 billion, up 5% year over year, and diluted EPS of $1.37 versus $1.35 a year earlier. Despite a 1.0% decline in comparable store sales, the company opened seven new stores to reach 490 locations and ended the quarter with $224 million in cash, no borrowings on its $600 million revolver, strong operating cash flow and continued share repurchases, underlining steady expansion amid a cautious consumer backdrop.
For the third quarter of 2026, Sprouts projected comparable store sales ranging from a slight decline to modest growth and diluted EPS of $1.20 to $1.24, while outlining full-year 2026 guidance that assumes 5.5% to 6.5% net sales growth, flat to slightly negative comps, EBIT of $675 million to $685 million, 42 net new stores and about $310 million in capital spending on a 52-week basis. The company also highlighted that fiscal 2026 will include a 53rd week expected to lift sales and earnings, reinforcing its confidence in a long-term growth trajectory even as management acknowledges ongoing economic and competitive uncertainties that could affect performance.

Spark’s Take on SFM Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SFM is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying fundamentals (revenue growth and improved profitability) and an attractive valuation (low P/E). Offsetting these positives are balance-sheet leverage and weaker recent cash conversion, plus near-term operating headwinds highlighted on the earnings call (negative comps and expected margin pressure), while technicals are moderately supportive but not fully aligned with a long-term uptrend.
